i’m on E. i’ll take the extra weight for peace of mind. I run the same tires on my 4Runner and did on a previous tacoma. they are also surprisingly quiet nor have I noticed an increase in noise.

Thank you sir. Those are them
I don't see a link to the wheel and tire spreadsheet. Do I need to request access? Just picked up a 2013 200 series, ready to get going on it!

Here are some 200 noobie musings for the brain trust. Must be Tuesday.
I'm hunting for some 18" wheels for the minivan. Planning on running 35's, either 285/75r18 or 305/70r18
Question 1) for those who have run the 305's, was the amount of clearancing/chopping necessary for the extra width a problem? I'm cool with rearranging pretty much any plastic or pounding out with a hammer, but would rather not do a BMC. The 285's and the 305's are the same diameter, but the 305's are 12" wide vs. 11.2". 285 would be the practical choice, I just think a fat tire looks better on a vehicle as big as the 200.
Question 2) Anybody have pictures of the Tundra 5-spoke 18" steelies on a LX570? They are plentiful and nearly free, don't weight much more than the 18" tundra alloys, and I'm trying to do what I can to mitigate the soccer mom look. I LOVE the look of the traditional steelies with holes, but I think they are significantly heavier and much harder to find.

1” wheel spacers on 285 60 R18 BFG Trail Terrain tires. First set the dealer had sold. As smooth as the stock tires so far, and a nice stance with the spacers. I went with 1” to keep them right at the edge of the mud flaps but to give a bit more base. Never liked how the stock set up sits under the car and makes the mud flaps look bigger than they are.

Thanks for posting these pics. Looks great. I've been eyeing the new BFG Trail-Terrain for my 2018 LC... which is 100% stock (for now), but looking to start the de-malling soon. Can you comment on noise at highway speeds? They are so new, there's no ratings out there yet...
You bet. I have noticed no measurable difference in noise or smoothness of ride from the stock Dunlop Grandtreks I had that had around 25,000mi on them and had been regularly rotated. I was concerned with an unknown entity, but have been pleasantly surprised.
MScruiser- Thank you for putting this together! Can you tell me where I can find the file? I don’t see it in the thread.

Are there any downsides to spacers, handling-wise? Any better than others? I'm mainly on the highway, long runs around the bottom of Lake Michigan. Tires are 1" narrower than stock, thinking 1/2" spacers would put the tires back where they were. How thick till you need longer wheel studs?

I'm running Bora spacers on both my 2021 HE and 2001 LX470. I've got 1 inch on the HE, puts my 275/70r18 tires right at the fender.
@scottm - I am about to have a set of 1.25” Spidertrax spacers available. I was running the same tire size as you (275/70R18) and these spacers were perfect. I went with new wheels and bigger tires, and no longer need the spacers- let me know if you’re interested in the 1.25” size.

Is that with a lift? Wondering about tire rub. Just installed my tires, heard a brief rubbing at full lock, gotta get a better look at how much space I have around these tires now and with potential spacers.
Still wondering about lug bolt length, losing 1.25" of thread engagement, have to look at that as well. Are there deeper lug nuts?
The spidertrax spacers include new wheel studs. Spacers bolt down onto the stock lugs through recesses in the spacers, and then the spacers have separate studs to mount the wheel onto. No real loss in thread engagement, just more nuts to check torque on. Pardon the jeep image:

The "traditional" steelies for the 2007+ Tundra are not heavier. The "style steel" or 5 spoke as you shared a picture of are heavier.
Tip: The 2007+ Tundra spare wheel p/n: 42601-0C060 is the same wheel painted black in comparison to the the silver colored "traditional" Tundra 2007+ steelie p/n 42601-0C030. Only thing that is missing is the center cap that comes with the silver wheels.
Not to question you, but where did you find weight information on both tundra steelies? I searched a while on the web and could only find a few limited posts in Tundra forums, which all seemed to indicate the other way around, although I couldn't find anything I would consider definitive. Toyotapartsdeal.com lists the spare steelies as 30 pounds, which I assume must be bullshirt because I know the TRD alloys weigh 31 pounds.

I will get the exact weight specs for you today and post it here.
I apologize but I was completely wrong and I was thinking the other way around. It has been awhile since I looked up the weight on these.
I looked them both up and the 42601-0C041 is lighter at 29 lbs while the 42601-0C030/42601-0C060 is 36 lbs. 42601-0C060 is the spare steelie.
Also keep in mind there was a heavier version of the 42601-0C030/42601-0C060 which fell under part number 42601-0C050 and was only use for a few select Tundras designated for the export market. They were pretty heavy at 39 lbs. They also had a little hole near the center bore where you could screw down the plastic center cap.
